The Delhi Liquor Scam has been making headlines for the past few weeks, with the Supreme Court refusing to hear the bail plea of Manish Sisodia, the Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi. The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has now decided to move the High Court in order to get the bail plea heard.
The Delhi Liquor Scam is a case of alleged corruption and misappropriation of funds by the Delhi government. The case was registered by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) in October 2020, after the Delhi government was accused of misusing public funds to purchase liquor for distribution to the public.
The CBI has alleged that the Delhi government had purchased liquor worth Rs. 200 crore from a private company, without following the due process of tendering. The CBI has also alleged that the Delhi government had paid an inflated price for the liquor, resulting in a loss of Rs. 100 crore to the exchequer.
The CBI has named Manish Sisodia, the Deputy Chief Minister of Delhi, as one of the accused in the case. Sisodia had filed a bail plea in the Supreme Court, but the court refused to hear the plea. The court said that the matter should be heard in the High Court, as the CBI had already filed a charge sheet in the case.
The AAP has now decided to move the High Court in order to get the bail plea heard. The party has said that the CBI has not presented any evidence to prove the allegations against Sisodia, and that the case is politically motivated. The party has also accused the CBI of acting in a biased manner, and of targeting the AAP government in Delhi.
The Delhi Liquor Scam has become a major political issue in the state, with the AAP accusing the BJP-led central government of targeting the Delhi government. The AAP has also accused the CBI of acting in a biased manner, and of targeting the AAP government in Delhi.
The High Court will now decide whether to hear the bail plea of Manish Sisodia or not. The court will also decide whether the CBI has presented enough evidence to prove the allegations against Sisodia. The court’s decision will be closely watched by the political parties in Delhi, as the outcome of the case could have a major impact on the political landscape of the state.
